PSG team news, focus

PSG have only made two signings so far this summer, but they cost a combined $120 million in transfer fees so you should expect they have acquired some real quality in Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier ($46 million) and center back Illia Zabarnyi ($74 million) from Bournemouth. Chevalier has been brought in just as Champions League hero Gianiluigi Donnarumma looks set to leave the club and likely to land in Manchester. Chevalier is expected to start against Spurs with a virtually unchanged team in front of him.

Tottenham Hotspur team news, focus

Things are looking far less familiar for Tottenham Hotspur, where there is a new manager (Thomas Frank) a new $74-million man (Mohammed Kudus), and another legend of the club has departed (Son Heung-min). There are also a number of injuries (quite familiar, sadly) making matters more difficult for Frank right out of the starting gate. James Maddison is out for most, if not all, of the season after tearing his ACL in preseason; Dejan Kulusevski is still recovering from his patella (knee) fracture back in May; Dominic Solanke hasn’t appeared in a preseason game since July 19; and the same since July 26 for Destiny Udogie. Who will provide the creativity? It certainly won’t be Yves Bissouma, who was dropped by Frank for being late on a number of occasions this summer, according to the manager.

PSG vs Tottenham Hotspur prediction

Heung-min Son was given a guard of honor by both Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United players as he played what is expected to be his final minutes as a Spurs player.

An emotional Son, 33, announced on Saturday that he is set to leave Spurs this summer after a decade with the north London club. It has been widely reported that he will join LAFC in Major League Soccer.

The friendly in Seoul, South Korea finished 1-1 on Sunday with Brennan Johnson’s early goal putting Spurs ahead — he of course hit Son’s signature celebration — but Newcastle equalized before the break through Harvey Barnes in front of almost 65,000 fans at Seoul World Cup Stadium.

However, Son’s farewell game ended on a sour note as his close friend James Maddison was stretchered off the pitch late on as the Spurs playmaker looked to have suffered a serious injury.

Son gets standing ovation, guard of honor in Seoul, South Korea

In his native South Korea on Sunday, Son started Spurs’ friendly against Newcastle and was substituted in the second half.

When that happened the players from both Spurs and Newcastle gave him a guard of honor off the pitch while the entire stadium rose to its feet to applaud Son.

He was then mobbed by players and coaching staff on the sidelines too as one of the most popular players in Premier League history, no matter who you support, received a fitting farewell as a Spurs player.

Son’s legendary status at Spurs is confirmed after he captained them to the UEFA Europa League trophy last season, their first trophy in 17 years and first European trophy in 41 years. He will leave Spurs having scored 173 goals and adding 101 assists in 452 games as he became a club legend and the model of consistency.

James Maddison was carried off the pitch during Tottenham Hotspur’s friendly with Newcastle United in Seoul, South Korea on Sunday and Spurs fans will be waiting with baited breath regarding the latest injury news on their star playmaker.

Maddison, 28, came off the bench in the second half of the friendly but was substituted just 11 minutes later after going down off the ball.

Spurs boss Thomas Frank, Maddison’s teammates and all of the staff looked very concerned about Maddison’s injury.

He had only just returned from the injury he suffered in early May and was building up his minutes in preseason as he returned to fitness.

James Maddison injury news latest

The England international appeared to be agony as he hobbled around and then fell to the floor as he grabbed his right knee.

He was treated on the pitch before being carried off on a stretcher in tears.

We will have the latest news from Spurs boss Thomas Frank on James Maddison’s injury, as he is due to speak after the game in South Korea on Sunday.

Pape Matar Sarr scored a stunning goal from distance to give Tottenham Hotspur a 1-0 friendly win against Arsenal in Hong Kong on Thursday.

The first-ever north London derby outside of the UK delivered a moment of pure quality.

Pape Matar Sarr scores from distance, catches out David Raya

Right on half time Spurs took the lead in Hong Kong and it came after some great pressing in midfield.

David Raya was way off his line on the ball and was trying to build from the back.

But Spurs pressed really well and Richarlison forced Myles Lewis-Skelly into a mistake.

The ball dropped to Sarr who took a touch to steady himself, then clipped a lovely shot towards goal from just inside the Arsenal half and the ball flew in.

It turned out to be the winning goal and this one is worthy of winning any game.

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are set to continue preseason preparations on Thursday (7:30 am ET), when the north London rivals meet outside the UK for the first time in derby history — in a so-called friendly — in Hong Kong.

Arsenal team news, focus

The Gunners started their preseason tour with a pair of wins, over AC Milan and Newcastle, last week — at the same that brand new summer signing, striker Viktor Gyokeres, was unveiled in front of the fans in Singapore. Gyokeres is the $74-million solution to Arsenal’s biggest problem last season: They didn’t score enough goals (69) to challenge Liverpool for the Premier League title, even with having the league’s best defensive record (34 conceded) by seven goals. Noni Madueke, who won’t join the squad until after they return from Asia, should also go some way toward helping that cause, after joining from Chelsea for $55 million this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur team news, focus

Spurs are only on game 1 of their Asian tour after drawing League One sides Wycombe Wanderers (2-2) and Luton Town (0-0) on the same day, as new head coach Thomas Frank wanted 22 players with playing time before leaving London. As seemingly easy as Arsenal have made their transfer business look, dealings have proved rather difficult for Spurs (again). Mohammed Kudus has come in for $75 million, but Spurs’ $80-million move for Morgan Gibbs-White was scuppered when Nottingham Forest threatened legal action for breach of confidentiality relating to the release clause in his contract and signed Gibbs-White to a new contract instead.

Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur prediction

The summer transfer window has already provided some huge deals (Florian Wirtz, Matheus Cunha and Liam Delap to name a few) and the reports just keep on coming.

Below we take a look at some of the latest transfer reports involving Premier League clubs.

Gittens to Chelsea back on?

It appeared that the deal for Jamie Gittens to head to Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund was off and the English winger could be heading to Bayern Munich instead. But a report from The Athletic says that Chelsea are closing in on signing Gittens, 20, after a breakthrough in talks with Dortmund. Gittens would be the direct replacement for Jadon Sancho, who has gone back to parent club Manchester United, and the talented English winger is exactly the kind of player Enzo Maresca wants. He’s direct, works hard up and down the flank and has the ability to cut inside and float around as one of the three attacking players in his system. Per the report, Gittens would sign a seven-year deal with Chelsea.

Spurs set to move on to Eze?

After firing Ange Postecoglou it appears Tottenham Hotspur will act very quickly to replace him as multiple reports claim Thomas Frank will become Spurs’ new head coach.

Reports from The Athletic, Fabrizio Romano and the BBC all claim that Spurs will pay the $13.5 million Brentford want in compensation for their talented manager.

The reports also state that personal terms have been agreed and Spurs are expecting to seal the deal for Frank in the next 48 hours.

Is this a good fit for Thomas Frank and Spurs?

There is no current manager in the Premier League that is more deserving of a chance at a big club playing in the Champions League than Thomas Frank. He’s earned this.

The Danish coach has brought Brentford up from the Championship with a modest budget and for the last four seasons he’s worked wonders to not only keep them in the Premier League but flourish. Frank has improved players such as Ivan Toney, Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, and countless others, building a dynamic, exciting and robust team.

That is exactly the kind of team Spurs want. If Frank is their new manager Spurs will still be as stylish as they were under Postecoglou but they will have more substance and bite.

Frank is a demanding but likable character and it will be intriguing to see how many of his stars at Brentford follow him to Spurs. For him the chance to coach in the Champions League at a huge club like Spurs is too good to turn down and he deserves this chance at one of the Premier League’s ‘big six’ clubs.

Now it’s all about two things: 1) can he keep on overachieving and 2) will he be given several years to build this project at Spurs.

Who will be the next Tottenham Hotspur manager following the firing of Ange Postecoglou in North London?

One thing’s for sure — the standards will be high and excuses not tolerated.

Postecoglou was canned by chairman Daniel Levy despite the club’s Europa League triumph — their first trophy in 17 years — as an injury-ravaged season saw Tottenham Hotspur focus on the UEL at the expense of the Premier League.

Their 17th-place finish was shocking even as Manchester United also plumbed their modern depths in domestic play.

But that’s in the past now. Who’s next?

Next Tottenham Hotspur manager — Ranking the contenders for Spurs hot seat

No longer the England boss, could Southgate take a Premier League head job for the first time since leaving Middlesbrough in 2009? James Maddison and Dominic Solanke will be familiar with the ex-Three Lions coach.

The one-time Spurs boss and current USMNT manager reportedly has a buyout clause that nears $20 million, and it would seem kinda ridiculous to rehire Pochettino, who famously didn’t win silverware despite a colorful and positive time in North London, after firing the guy who ended their trophy drought.

He just won a trophy, so he’s got that going for him. And Glasner could have his head turned by the chance to scoot across town for a bigger budget and a place in the UEFA Champions League. He’s well-regarded, and might just be able to bring over some familiar faces from Crystal Palace.

More likely to leave his Premier League club than Glasner after the Cherries missed out on Europe, he’s a system guy and the results of his time at Bournemouth promise that more resources could deliver even better results.

We hate to say that a huge move from a club that hails your every move is an easy decision or a simple one — but there’s a reason Frank is being eyeballed as a favorite here. Brentford play attractive football and punch above their weight. Frank would surely love the opportunity to throw haymakers from a favored position.

Other names mentioned? Manuel Pellegrini (Real Betis), Xavi Hernandez (unattached), Kieran McKenna (Ipswich Town), Simone Inzaghi (unattached), Eddie Howe (Newcastle United), Brendan Rodgers (Celtic)

Johnny Cardoso’s near-meteoric rise through European club football could soon reach a crescendo as the USMNT midfielder is nearing a move to Atletico Madrid this summer.

The transfer isn’t out-of-nowhere, but the destination remains surprising after Tottenham Hotspur secured a unique “right of first refusal” on the Real Betis midfielder last summer.

MORE — How will USMNT line up versus Turkiye?

Spurs reportedly requested the future rights of Cardoso as part of a deal to bring Giovani Lo Celso in August 2024, and the North London club may wind up with part of the players’ sell-on rights if he moves elsewhere.

A move to Atletico Madrid — expected to start at approximately $35 million — is intriguing for the United States men’s national team, as Mauricio Pochettino would likely be thrilled at the concept of the already-menacing Cardoso playing a meaningful role for Diego Simeone. The Atleti futures of 33-year-old captain Koke and 31-year-old Rodrigo de Paul are reportedly in flux, and there’s a bonus if they stay and Cardoso can learn under two of the world’s very best at his position.

Betis are headed for the Europa League next season, so Cardoso has no need to accept a move in order to keep growing his game. Atleti and Spurs are big, big destinations, and both the players and even Betis may want to strike with the iron as hot as possible.

Evaluating Johnny Cardoso — What’s his ceiling for club, country?

Of course there’s the danger of Cardoso being behind such players or a similar purchase, but Simeone is purchasing a player who starred in La Liga and led Real Betis to the Conference League Final under Manuel Pellegrini.

Still 23 under September, the American-born Cardoso took little time to adjust to Spain following a move from Brazil’s Internacional in January 2024. The gem unearthed for the USMNT by Gregg Berhalter rung up almost 3,400 minutes this past season, scoring four times with an assist.

He hasn’t been a passing star by any means, but he’s an instinctive, elite reader of the game. Cardoso ranks in the 98th percentile for interceptions and 93rd percentile for clearances, with FBref.com comparing him favorably to Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi and Aston Villa’s Amadou Onana.

As for the USMNT, his partnership with Tyler Adams at this summer’s Gold Cup could up the battle for starting spots at the 2026 World Cup as Weston McKennie and Yunus Musah watch from afar.

Ange Postecoglou and Spurs will be reveling in their Europa League glory when they host European hopefuls Brighton on Sunday.

After a terrible season in the Premier League, Ange’s much-maligned Spurs beat Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao on Thursday to win their first trophy in over 17 years and their first European trophy since 1984. They showed a pragmatic, sensible side to their play throughout the knockout rounds of the Europa League and have been rewarded with a trophy and a spot in the UEFA Champions League for next season. “Second season, mate.” But will this be Ange’s final game in charge of Spurs? Time will tell but fans of Tottenham Hotspur everywhere are ecstatic to have finally won a trophy. The time for planning for next season can come soon enough but this week is all about celebration, and relief, for Spurs.

Brighton are hoping they will be celebrating European qualification at the end of the season too. Fabian Huzeler’s side still have a faint chance of reaching Europe next season as they beat Liverpool 3-2 on Monday to put themselves in pole position to finish eighth in the Premier League table. If they finish in eighth they need Chelsea to finish outside of the top five and also win the UEFA Conference League (they play Real Betis in the final in Wroclaw, Poland next week) to seal a spot in the Conference League for next season. The Seagulls have won three of their last four and if they draw or win at Spurs, all eyes will be on Chelsea.

Tottenham Hotspur team news, focus

Spurs will rest most of their key players for this final game of the season, as the focus will be on celebrating their Europa League success at home with their fans. The last thing they want ahead of a return to the Champions League next season is to lose a key player to injury when they already know they’re going to finish in the lower reaches of the Premier League table. It will be intriguing to see what Ange Postecoglou says after the game about his future, as Spurs’ leadership team have a big decision to make this summer.

Hurzeler has been battling with injuries to key players all season long and when Brighton are fully-fit they are clearly up there with the ‘best of the rest’ in the Premier League. They have so many talented attackers and the Seagulls will go at Spurs early to try and settle things by half time, then all eyes will be on the City Ground to see how Chelsea are getting on against Nottingham Forest.
